Scripture Lesson: Psalm 47 Babylon's time is coming

Time to reflect: This Psalm has the same message as Genesis chapter 1: That humans are the culmination of the creation and God's finest creature.

Moving through the day: As the finest creature are behaving like a child with special gifts and responsibilities or like a spoiled only child making demands?

Scripture:

Psalm 8

¹O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

²Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

³When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established;

⁴what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

⁵Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.

⁶You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet,

⁷all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

⁸the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

⁹O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
